Description

Introducing students to organic chemistry, this unique kit is comprised of eco-friendly, well-made components. The instruction guide provides background information, explanations, materials lists, step-by-step instructions and helpful illustrations to 30 organic chemistry activities. Activities vary and include plant transpiration, “seeing” photosynthesis, making organic slime, DNA extractions, demonstrating the power of organic solvents, papermaking, understanding acids and bases, making casein glue and different types of organic plastics, and much more. The kit contains a 120 ml beaker, graduated cylinder, Erlenmeyer flask, test tubes and stand, papermaking deckle and frame, bioplastic forming trays (2 sizes), spatula, shape molds, pipette, latex balloons, 100 ml glycerin, funnel, and paint brush. Most lab equipment is environmentally friendly while maintaining a quality lab design and sturdiness. Numerous household items are needed–for example active dry yeast, cornstarch, dish soap, sugar, turmeric powder, unflavored gelatin packets, etc. This is a great kit for the budding chemist in your family who wants to learn more about the future of organic chem and protect our environment at the same time! ~Deanne
